Description

The Explore US Bikeshare data analysis project was the second project in the Udacity Programming for Data Science Nanodegree.

The resulting output was an interactive experience for the end user that answered the following questions within the data sets:

• Most common start station.
• Most common end station.
• Most common route.
• Total travel time in city.
• Mean travel time in city.
• Number of users by type.
• Counts by gender.
• Oldest rider (only available for Chicago and New York City).
• Youngest rider (only available for Chicago and New York City).
• The most common year of birth for riders (only available for Chicago and New York City).
